How many people will be leaving Worthy Farm today?

While 130,000 ticket-holders arrived gradually on Wednesday and into Thursday, almost all of them will leave this morning – and that often leads to queues for the whole day both in the vast car parks and on the roads around the Pilton site.

Keep calm and try not to stress about the queues

The man running the festival’s on-site medical centre warned people not to get stressed about the queues, and to prepare for them.

Dr Chris Howes, the managing director of Festival Medical Services, said even though the weather had been good and the car parks still dry and mud-free, the process will ‘naturally take some time and it is sensible therefore to make a few preparations’ before setting off into the queue.

“People who take regular medication, such as insulin, should make sure they have it with them and in easy reach, and it would also be wise to have something available to eat and some water too,” he said.

“Getting stressed is not going to speed things up, but it is likely to make people feel worse and spoil the end of their festival experience.”
